Default best first upgrade??

ive got a NTC3 and want to know the best first upgrade for it. its completely stock and i want to make it better. i also want to know good cheap upgrades. actually the only thing i have for an upgrade are some nice tires because my stock ones wore out fast.

You can get faster servos and lighter parts. Faster servos will increase response and lighter parts will help u in handling, acceleration, and speed. Also try to custiminze your gear ratio......yep those are good first time upgrades
